But I was still enraged about Jed and Josh not even being in the same room. Me too! I said the same thing in my ramblings (http://caz963.livejournal.com/26888.html#cutid1) about the ep - it looked as though Josh was in the building when Jed was taking his walk around making sure no-one was making off with the cutlery, and I actually thought - thank God, we're going to get Jed and Josh one last time. But no. And that pissed me off. And I know what you're saying about Josh and Donna, and I KNOW in my head they're happy together and will be making little dimpled babies before long, but I really needed to SEE it. I feel we got closure on most of the others, but not them, not really. OK, so yes, Josh clearly made his decision, as we knew he would, because they're together way after Donna's 4 week deadline. But after all this time, and all the build up (because I really think that their resolution was being handled very well from The Cold onwards) I think it's not enough to be relying on the fans to be doing the math and making it up in their heads. I know that Josh and Donna could communicate volumes without words, and God knows, Brad can say as much if not more with his eyes than he can with his mouth - but this was the ONE time I really think it should have been spelled out. And it could have been done easily. It didn't have to be a ring on her finger (cos I wasn't all that keen on them coming back from vacation engaged or married anyway), but I'm sure they could have found a way... and it wasn't just that they didn't talk to each other all episode, it was that, apart from in bed, they didn't look at each other either. I was watching the Inauguration ceremony bit earlier, and I think I would have been happier had they just looked at each other during that scene - I could have coped with the not talking for the rest of it. Anyway, sorry to take up space, and to be a downer - because there was a lot about the ep I did like... maybe once I get some distance and out of mourning, I'll feel better about it!
